Edson Diaz, 20, of the 1000 block of North Avenue was arrested Monday night. He was released Wednesday after posting $2,000 bail. Diaz's is the first such case to face prosecution in Kane County, authorities said Wednesday.
Authorities said Diaz began sending threatening e-mails in April to Jennifer Walcott of Scottsdale, Ariz., with whom Archuleta is expecting a baby, Walcott's publicist said.
Aurora Police Lt. Brian Olsen said Diaz e-mailed Walcott through a link on her MySpace page. The e-mails were traced to his home computer, said Olsen, who added that Diaz had threatened to attack Walcott but did not give a motive.
"He's just being verbally abusive and threatening her with bodily harm," Olsen said. Under Illinois' cyberstalking statute, which became law in 2001, it is a felony to threaten someone through the Internet. If convicted, Diaz would face up to 3 years in prison.
He is scheduled to appear in court Sept. 13.
